Heisig story:

When we speak of burying something (or someone, for that matter), we usually mean putting them under ground. Only here, we are burying our beloved computer that has served us so well these past years. Behind us a choir chants the "Dies irae, dies illa" and there is much wailing and grief among the bystanders as they pass by to shovel a little dirt into what will be its final resting place. R.I.P.

Koohii stories:

1) [Rowan] 21-9-2007(120): You can't bury computers underground, because of the dangerous heavy metals, so you hide them behind an equally large mound of soil and hope no-one notices.

2) [Dualta] 5-3-2008(80): I used SOIL to BURY my COMPUTER.

3) [uberclimber] 3-1-2011(60): Bury me in the soil beside my parents' house. That's where I want to be laid to rest. 埋め込む (うめこむ) : to bury; 埋蔵 (まいぞう) : buried property, treasure trove.

4) [DrJones] 19-12-2007(31): If you assigned the meaning "House of the Fathers" to ri (#173 里), this one becomes a lot easier. When I die, I want to be buried in these grounds so that my body can find rest at the House of my fathers.

5) [dhalprin] 24-5-2010(18): When I die, bury me in the soil - next to my computer.
